Abstract
Active remote sensing systems based on the use of an excimer laser as an UV excitation source have been developped, signals from solid or liquid targets are collected as generated either though resonant (LIF) or non-resonant processes (Raman). Applications related to direct monitoring of water surface pollution are presented and discussed together with a few examples of indirectly controlling some risks of water pollution on the territory and possible secondary effects on living species.
The excimer laser based lidar fluorosensor, assembled at the ENEA Centre in Frascati and nowadays operating from a mobile station, is used to detect spectral and time resolved LIF signals, as well as Raman spectra from solid and liquid remote targets.
Typical spectral and time resolved lidar data obtained on thin films of pollutant oils on water are reported together with spectra of phytoplancton. The role of the water Raman signal overlapping the spectra is discussed.
